Ted Talk: The refugee crisis is a test of our character

David Miliband, self-described “ex-politician” (a former Labour cabinet minister), heads the New York-based International Rescue Committee. The IRC is a nonprofit organization that “responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future.”

Miliband gave a TED talk in April about the global refugee crisis, which he describes as “manageable, not unsolvable.” It’s also, Miliband says, “a test of our character.”
